Should This Be Sold As a Salad?

Last Friday a few of us headed down to the new lunch hotspot, Best-O-Burger here in San Francisco. While the burgers were delicious, and the shakes amazing, their salads left something to be desired. Molly says it's because they're making fun of anyone who orders a salad, but I think it's just crazy. The salad is part of a meal menu. It's not like I specifically changed it to a salad.

How do they expect anyone to eat this? The tiny head of romaine lettuce, carrot sticks, and cherry tomatoes shoved into a cup wasn't right. The lettuce wasn't cut and I had no idea what to do with it. What do you think? Is this a salad?

I think it looks really good. Fresh and not made hours and hours earlier to sit and wilt. I'd flip the lid upside down and use it as a "bowl" for the dressing, then dip the veggies in it. It also looks like a great way to O'Bento!!! Thumbs up from me!

Does anyone remember years ago McDonald's had a caesar salad cup that was really good! You pour the dressing through the hole at the top, shake it around, and voila, yummy salad. It was my favorite thing to get there!

LoveTheWatcher: a bowel? oh my. just kidding!
personally, it looks like a cheap yet not so cheerful excuse for a 'salad'. i expect the reasons they skimp on chopping it up include not wanting to waste valuable staff on such a time consuming task, but i reckon if you chopped those up they would only fill half that cup. cheapskates.
i'm not averse to the idea of salad in a cup though, i take my salad in an upright container to work, so it can fit in my bag and there's less chance of leakage. plus it makes it easier to tuck in at my desk.

Well it's the components of a salad but how do they expect you to eat it? I hope they at least gave you a plate so you could cut it all up!
And why should they be making fun of people who order salads? They are healthy and delicious and some of us really enjoy getting fresh vegetables into our diets rather than eating all fried, greasy foods!
